Chapter 760: A Battlefield without Rules

Su Cheng's sudden recruitment made everyone present stunned.

"Su Cheng, what are you doing?" Alyssa, who was shocked by Su Cheng's move, couldn't help but exclaimed to Su Cheng.

And Su Cheng just replied calmly: "Recruiting rare talents for our country."

After that, Su Cheng retracted his gaze and continued to look at El opposite him seriously.

After a brief shock, El came back to his senses.

"You want me... to join the Britannia Empire?"

"That's right. Not only you, Gabriel, you can also join the Britannia Empire. I can see that you are also a powerful general. If you two are willing to join our country, I promise you: with my recommendation, you will get a high position in the Britannia Empire that you have never obtained in the Holy Hilan Empire!"

Seeing that Su Cheng actually threw the olive branch to his head, Gabriel couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

El and Gabriel looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, El asked back:

"You want to recruit me? Are you sure? I am a Xilan."

As soon as El finished speaking, Su Cheng asked back:

"What's wrong with Xilan? Britannia has never been a country that pays attention to ethnicity and identity."

"I am also a descendant of a minority in the Britannia Empire. A few years ago, I was just an ordinary civilian that could be seen everywhere in the country. Now, am I not guarding a place and becoming the leader of a group?"

Su Cheng has always claimed that he is a descendant of a small and unknown minority. This can very reasonably explain why his appearance and name are different from most people in the Britannia Empire.

The Britannia Empire is a multi-ethnic country with so many ethnic groups that no one knows how many ethnic groups there are in the country.

In addition, the "identity card" that every citizen of the Britannia Empire has does not indicate the ethnicity of the holder. Therefore, the lie made up by Su Cheng is impeccable. Even if he wants to find out the truth, he doesn't know how to find it.

The Britannia Empire is not a country that values ​​ethnicity and bloodline, so as long as El and Gabriel come to surrender, Su Cheng dares to conclude: with his recommendation, plus their abilities, they will definitely rise to prominence in the Britannia Empire!

"Come to Britannia. El, Gabriel."

Su Cheng said this to the two people in front of him again, and stretched out his right hand to them.

"In the Britannia Empire, you will definitely have a brighter future!"

Seeing that Su Cheng said so, El showed a troubled expression.

After scratching his hair, El looked apologetic:

"Captain Su Cheng,

I appreciate your kindness."

"But I have no intention of betraying my country and surrendering to your country."

After hearing El's refusal, Su Cheng's face couldn't help but sink.

"I'm not interested in a bright future."

"My dream is simple, that is, to have a job that is not too stressful and pays enough to support myself, and then spend a peaceful and leisurely life."

"And I'm not a very powerful person."

After saying that, El slightly opened the collar of his coat to reveal the underwear inside.

It was a uniform of a third-class quartermaster of the Holy Xilan Empire.

"I'm just an ordinary third-class quartermaster of the Holy Xilan Empire."

"It's just that I happen to have a little bit of command ability."

At this point, El paused.

Then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing his signature gentle smile:

"I'm just an ordinary person who can be happy and angry. Don't treat me as a hero, and I'm not a hero."

Seeing that El was unmoved by his recruitment, Su Cheng cast his eyes on Gabriel behind El.

"What about you? Gabriel, are you willing to join our country?"

"Me? I'd better forget it."

Gabriel shrugged.

"All my relatives are in the Holy Xilan Empire. If I leave the Holy Xilan Empire, I will be very lonely. I am most afraid of loneliness."

"Ah, although I don't have many relatives... My relatives are only the teacher, El and Camille..."

El and Gabriel both refused Su Cheng's recruitment.

Seeing that both of them refused, Su Cheng silently withdrew his hand.

With a little regret on his face: "Really... forget it."

Su Cheng paused for a while and then said:

"I really can't tell, El. Your dream is so... ordinary"

Su Cheng thought for a long time and only came up with the adjective "ordinary".

Because El's dream seems to have no other suitable adjectives except "ordinary".

"Yes, so I have been criticized by many people, saying that I have no ambition at all."

El shrugged helplessly.

"I have never had any ambition since I was a child. It is not my original intention to lead a combat unit to carry out combat missions like now."

"I just want to be a third-class quartermaster for the rest of my life. I probably won't have the opportunity to lead an army again. Even if someone asks me to lead an army, I will not lead an army to the battlefield again."

"Don't be so sure." Su Cheng's face suddenly showed an intriguing look, "I didn't think about becoming a knight a few years ago, but a few years later, I, who had never thought about becoming a knight before, became the leader of the Knights of Michael."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng suddenly paused.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, he continued to say to El:

"Speaking of this, El. When I was recruiting you just now, I suddenly thought of a way to beat you." Su Cheng pointed to the chessboard in front of him.

"Oh?" El raised his eyebrows.

Su Cheng's words aroused El's interest.

El wanted to see what tricks Su Cheng came up with to defeat him.

So he raised his chin and signaled Su Cheng to show what he called "the way to beat him."

"My method is...ah! What is that?!"

Su Cheng suddenly pointed behind El and Gabriel with a look of horror.

Su Cheng's move successfully attracted the attention of everyone present.

Alyssa, El, and Gabriel immediately looked in the direction Su Cheng pointed.

But nothing was found.

Because Su Cheng pointed behind El and Gabriel, they had to turn their heads to see the scene behind them.

After finding that there was nothing behind him, El followed Gabriel and turned his head back, saying in confusion:

"There is nothing behind... huh?"

After turning his head back, El made a confused "hmm".

On the chessboard in front of him, several of his chess pieces were missing.

And Su Cheng had an intriguing smile on his face, playing with the chess pieces that El had lost on the chessboard.

It seemed that Su Cheng secretly took away El's chess pieces while El and the others were distracted by him.

After El's chess pieces were taken away by Su Cheng, El's defense line on the chessboard was immediately full of loopholes. Su Cheng could easily tear through El's defense line and then beat El to a pulp.

Looking at Su Cheng who took away his chess pieces while his attention was drawn, El was slightly stunned, and then smiled helplessly:

"Captain Su Cheng, is this the way you said you can beat me?"

"Yes."

After that, Su Cheng threw the chess pieces of El in his hand back to the wooden table in front of him.

"The chessboard is bound by many rules."

"Under the constraints of these rules, the two of us will be tied."

"However-the battlefield is different from the chessboard."

"There are no rules on the battlefield."

When talking about the term "rules", Su Cheng emphasized his tone.

After leaving these intriguing words, Su Cheng stood up and led Alyssa away.

Only El and Gabriel were left there, recalling what Su Cheng had just said.

"A battlefield without rules..." El murmured, thinking.
